Two representatives from Luminit, VP of engineering Leo Katsenelenson and senior optical engineer Anthony Ang, talk about the company's history in developing light diffusors and holographic technology and how that led to the formation of its Crystal Screens division, which has developed a new type of projection screen. They describe how the screen material consists of pseudo-random surface-relief microstructures, how that allows them to control the gain and viewing angle, how a high-gain screen can avoid hotspotting, answers to chatroom questions, and more.

The UK's Snooper's Charter will officially pass into law in 2017, requiring web and phone companies to store customers' Internet Connection Records for a year. It officially received the Royal Assent from the Queen.

Facebook is adding Instant Games to its Messenger service, 17 games built on the HTML5 standard. The games are a mixture of old school classics, along with new titles from studios like Zynga and King.

As early as the first quarter of next year you might be able to buy an Amazon Echo with a touch screen on it. Sources at Bloomberg say the device will have updated speakers and a tilt-able 7-inch screen.

A case in the European Court of Justice is challenging how Uber operates within the market, seeking to determine whether Uber is in fact a transportation company and thereby beholden to national rules around transport, or a technology company that simply acts as an intermediary, connecting drivers with passengers.

Electrolux is introducing a new service that's like AirBNB, but for washing clothes.

Stephen Hackett from 512pixels dives into his vast collection of Apple products and compares them against the same products found inside Apple's new $300 coffee table book.

Cathy O'Neil went from being a Wall Street quant to a member of Occupy Wall Street when she saw the ways that Big Data were being used to affect the lives of people every day. In Weapons of Math Destruction, she explores the algorithms that control us, from the way teachers are evaluated, to how loans are granted (or denied). She argues that rather than the impartial arbiters these algorithms are touted to be, they are dangerously opaque and flawed.

Google's brand identity problems continue, as Google decided to switch its Google Cast branding back to Chromecast, after having already switched away from the Chromecast branding earlier this year. Supported devices will now show that the product has "Chromecast built-in."

The New York Times says that Facebook built a tool that will allow them to monitor and suppress posts based on location, and they're doing this to get into China. The tool has been a secret, but some Facebook employees have already left the company in protest. This would be a pragmatic move on Zuckerberg's part, and he obviously wants to get into China at any cost.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued voluntary guidelines to smartphone manufacturers to push them towards implementing a "driver mode" into devices, preventing certain apps from running and blocking video playback, among other things, while the car is in motion.

Security researchers say there's a new way to spy on you, through your headphones. Shown with new proof of concept code called Speaker, which can exploit the audio-jack re-tasking function of RealTek codecs. An attacker can then swap the headphone jack for the microphone jack, resulting in an open mic that is ripe for surveillance.

Fred Lambert from Electrek discusses how Tesla finalized its acquisition of SolarCity and wasted no time showing off the fruits of its labor by powering the small island of Ta'u entirely off of solar energy.

Pilots for Amazon.com Inc.'s new in-house transportation network took to the picket line this week over an ongoing labor dispute involving increased demand and staffing shortages. ABX Air, which also flies for DHL, says 26 flights & 1.25 million pounds of cargo is currently grounded with no pilots crossing the picket line.
